Recommended: Challenges to interprofessional collaboration

In an effort to create more efficient and effective health care services, decision makers and organizational leaders have looked to the implementation of interprofessional healthcare teams to deliver care together as opposed to the traditional model of healthcare delivery one that sees practitioners working alone in silos (Tomblin Murphy, Alder, MacKenzie & Rigby, 2010; Weinberg, Cooney-Miner, Perloff, Babington, & Avgar, 2011). In 2008, the World Health Organization (WHO) Study Group on Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Collaborative Practice (IPC) created a set of definitions to assist the health researchers, educators, policy developers, decision makers and others in developing IPE and IPC in their jurisdictions to both build capacity …show more content…

This research may also contribute to and support capacity building and sustainability for researchers, decision-makers, regulatory bodies, employers and provider groups as well as others, in their journey toward high-functioning interprofessional collaborative teams.
This study will focus on individual healthcare practitioners in maternal newborn and low-risk obstetrical service delivery. Identifying barriers to interprofessional collaborative practice may result in positive changes to the delivery of low-risk obstetrical care. Positive changes may include better cooperation, mutual trust, communication and a focus on shared knowledge and decision-making. Also, it is anticipated that the synergistic integration and active involvement of these providers in the care of patients and families, may improve healthcare outcomes and resource allocation overall.
Specifically, this research will contribute to the health system …show more content…

When newly licenced practitioners leave their educational institutions, they may have had interprofessional education supporting them to work with other healthcare providers’ post-licensure (Gilbert, 2005; Mann, 2008; Martínez-Fernández et al., 2011). Some healthcare organizations are just beginning to explore interprofessional collaborative teams and therefore, new graduates may not have worked in IP teams initially (Kozlowski & Bell, 2003; Gordon, 2011). This is supported in some studies that have pointed to the challenge between team members regarding such issues as communication, role clarification and overall trust (Hall, 2005, Sergeant, 2008, Suter, 2009; Campbell, 2014). Therefore, the gap that has been identified in the literature is the lack of available measurement tools or approaches to measure or assess the readiness of post-license practitioners to participate in IP collaborative healthcare teams (Kenaszchuk, 2012). Given this gap, it is suggested that if we are able to identify the readiness of a practitioner to collaborate before entering into a team, some of these challenges will be addressed and the subsequent team will have fewer difficulties working together. For example, a valid and effective tool for predicting interprofessional readiness of potential team members will allow us to address potential barriers to interprofessional team

Bogossian & Craven (2020) observed a serious problem in public and private hospitals that lack teamwork. They noted the various disciplines team members undertake during training but must collaborate during practice to ensure safe, effective, and comprehensive patient care. Inter-professional education allows nurses to learn from each other; clarifying their roles increases the team's functionality, promotes better leaders and access to specialized care, and reduces conflict. Nurses endure minimal duplication of functions, greater productivity, better cohesion, and

Interprofessional collaboration is vital to the development of strong, patient-centered health care teams (Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative, 2010). An interprofessional team is a group of health care providers that work together to provide each patient with holistic care, that is suitable to their needs (Canadian Nurses’ Association, 2011). Each member of the team has specialized knowledge in s specific field, giving them a unique role in the patient’s care. However, effective interprofessional collaboration leads to patient outcomes that are more effective than if each discipline treated the patient independently, also known as the Systems Theory (Cordon, 2013). For example, effective interprofessional practice can…

Initial Response 1.Describe how highly functioning interdisciplinary teams enhance the quality and safety of care provided in today’s complex healthcare organizations. Provide an example of a team approach used for quality and safety within your organization and discuss why you believe the team was or was not successful in achieving its goals. Use theoretical perspectives about team formation, membership, and tools to substantiate your response. Shoemaker, et al. (2016) wrote that interprofessional team-based medicine is viewed as a significant feature of delivery systems restructured to deliver more effective and higher quality care.

The integrated physician model aims at bringing collaboration to medical teams that are competing against one another in the same hospital. Through achieving this, the integrated physician model creates values for the patients, hospitals and the doctors. Hospital care providers and physicians that put their focus on patients become stronger because of the high competition that exists in the health care segment. To achieve success, it is important for patients to go through orientation. This model provides a framework that

An argument against interprofessional training in health care programs is that health care workers are capable of learning to cooperate interprofessionally as students through their discipline-only clinicals or through time spent in the workforce. Other arguments, such as the ones Chen, Delnat, and Gardner (2015) argues in their article, what are that students have enough clinical hours as it is, “scheduling conflicts, funding, and/or separation of education and practice”. Interprofessional education refines and focuses on different skills, but some of these skills can be learned without interprofessional education, but then quality of skills or student comfortability with these skills may decrease. When some people say interprofessional training can be learned through their discipline-designed clinicals or that these skills will develop once students graduate and are working in their career, they do not understand that these skills need a foundation to be fully developed.

Trust in Team Collaboration Student’s Name: Capella University Trust in Team Collaboration Strategies for Inter-professional Teamwork The healthcare delivery landscape involves the collaboration of healthcare workers from various professional backgrounds (Nacioglu, 2016). For instance, nurses tend to work with physicians, pharmacists, and laboratory technicians among others to meet health objectives among patients. The related goals include the clinical roles such as diagnosis and treatment while non-clinical functions include dissemination of health information. Moreover, these teams work with the immediate members of the family of patients to deliver a comprehensive and conclusive care to patients.

I used to overlook this notion as a simple concept that’s easy to accomplish within a team. However, I’ve learnt that it is not so easily achieved. Functional interprofessional collaboration is integral in delivering optimal health care and promotion. Successful interprofessional collaboration is important for nursing students, such as myself, as it is a concept and skill that is applicable to multiple contexts. My experience in an elementary school has given me the chance for mutual learning and collaboration with non-health professionals within the broader context of the community.
